During the Cold War, leftists were supportive of Russia’s dictatorship and conservatives were critical of Russia’s dictatorship.


This is precisely where your vacuous argument falls apart. This is where your Russophobia rear its lizard head.

Leftists did NOT and have never supported Russian people. The reveled in the destruction of millions of Russian people druing the cold war. They supported the Soviet State. Just as they now criticize Russia. And you too.

As i have prodded you earlier-—a survey course in Russian history will be a tool for your much needed enlightenment..but I suspect your anti Russian biases will preclude any rational discussion on your part.

Except, as we shall soon see below, you could not even follow the argument.

Always with the melodrama. "Russophobia" means "fear of Russians." I do not fear Russians - I feel sorry for them. I pity the Russian people.

Leftists did NOT and have never supported Russian people.

I didn't say they did. I said they supported the Russian dictatorship - and they did support the Russian dictatorship wholeheartedly. As you do now.

The reveled in the destruction of millions of Russian people druing the cold war.

Again, I didn't say they didn't. What I did say was that they supported Russia's dictatorship. Which they did, and which you do as well.

They supported the Soviet State.

That's exactly what I told you in the first place. The left supported the Russian dictatorship. In their case the Soviet Union. And who were the enforcers and preservers of the Soviet dictatorship? Why, the KGB of course. And who controls Russia today? Why, a KGB man named Vladimir Putin.

As i have prodded you earlier-—a survey course in Russian history will be a tool for your much needed enlightenment..but I suspect your anti Russian biases will preclude any rational discussion on your part.

I admit that I am no expert on Russian history, but I can say that I know more about it than you do.

However, the real issue isn't history but current reality.

And the current reality is that Russia is controlled by a KGB dictator, that Russia is 10% Muslim and that Russia is aligned with the Islamofascist regime in Tehran that sponsors Hezbollah.
